It’s Farley’s World, We Just Live In It

I just loving being a part of this “club”, and by that I mean the club of adoptive parents.   With each passing day, I am convinced that this was the path I was destined to take. For that, I could not be more thankful each and every day.  I literally look at Jake every single day and appreciate him and feel overhwleming gratitude that I was chosen as his mom.  Back on subject, I went to a work lunch today and for some reason Jake came up in the first sentence, something about me having a 10 month old at home.  He said that he too has a 10 month old and that was cool enough.  Then, he said that she was adopted as was his oldest daughter (they also have a biological son).  When I then said that Jake was adopted, he about fell out of his chair.  With that, out went the business talk and we each told our story and it was awesome. I cannot wait to meet his family and for them to meet Jake, we plan to meet up soon.  Apparently, he and his wife have passions that we do with how we want to get more involved with adoption issues locally.  Not only this, but I work with some amazing people, two of my colleagues have adopted children and I depend on their advice, not only about adoption, but about being successful working moms and balancing it all.  In fact, we are all so open about it here at work that it is really a part of our culture here and the support we get is awesome.  I just had to mention these things while I was thinking about it…
